1Pathways Guide 2014

WHo IS THIS GUIDE FoR?

Pathways are all about options. There are many ways to and through university. This guide will help you find a pathway that suits you best.

This guide is for anyone interested in applying to an undergraduate degree at La Trobe University, including those who have, or haven’t, finished high school, TAFE students and mature-age applicants. It’s also for people who want to transfer to La Trobe from another university, or even transfer courses within La Trobe.

It is relevant to local applicants (Australian and New Zealand citizens, permanent residents of Australia, applicants in Australia with refugee status), and international applicants currently studying English, Foundation Studies, Year 12 or post- secondary studies in Australia.

The best way to use this guide is in conjunction with our undergraduate course guides, which provide details on all our undergraduate courses, including costs, scholarships, industry experience, overseas study, accommodation and life at La Trobe in general. There are separate guides for local and international applicants.

For a copy of the local Undergraduate Course Guide 2014, visit:latrobe.edu.au/study/course-guides

2 Pathways Guide 2014

You’ve finished Year 12 …

… and received the required ATAR

If your course application is successful, VTAC will send you an Offer Letter with instructions on how to accept an offer and enrol.

For more information, visit: latrobe.edu.au/students/new-students

… but did not receive the ATAR required for entry into your preferred course

You may be eligible for credit if you:■ enrol in a La Trobe course your ATAR

allows, then transfer to your original choice (see page 3)

■ enrol in TAFE, then transfer to a La Trobe course (see pages 5 - 23)

■ enrol in a single subject. This way you’ll find out if a study area interests you while gaining credit towards a future application (see page 4)

■ enrol in a diploma at La Trobe Melbourne and transfer into the second year of a La Trobe course (subject to results), see pages 4 and 18 for more information.

… and you’d like to defer your start

If you’re offered a La Trobe course and want to defer your studies, you may be granted deferral for up to a year or more. Make sure you complete the deferral form so your place is waiting for you at the end of your deferral.

Please note: although this pathway is available for most courses, there are a few exceptions.

For more information, visit: latrobe.edu.au/students/new-students/accept/defer

PATHWAYS To AnD THRoUGH LA TRoBE

Whether or not you’ve finished Year 12Don’t worry if you haven’t finished Year 12. You have options:

Enrol at TAFE

Doing a TAFE course may allow you to transfer to a La Trobe course with eligibility for credit. We have articulation agreements with many post-secondary institutions, so you know how much credit you’ll get in advance (see pages 5 - 23).

Use your work experience

Apply for our Work Recognition Program, which takes your work experience into account instead of formal academic qualifications (see page 4).

Enrol in a single subject or our Tertiary Enabling Program■ Enrol in a single subject.

Doing a single subject at La Trobe allows you to find out if an area of study suits you. You may also gain credit for a future course application (see page 4).

■ Apply for our Tertiary Enabling Program, which runs for 18 weeks and gives you a strong foundation of skills to help with your future course application (see page 4).

Complete a Diploma at La Trobe Melbourne

You can go directly into the second year of a La Trobe course by completing a diploma at La Trobe Melbourne subject to results (see pages 4 and 18 for more information).

You’re enrolled in a La Trobe course …

You’re enrolled at another uni …

… and changed your mind about the course you’re in

Once you have commenced your course, you can apply to transfer to another La Trobe course using our Application for Course Transfer form.

Please note: not all courses allow for transfer.

For more information, visit: latrobe.edu.au/school/apply/pathways/transfer

… and found a La Trobe course that better suits your needs

Apply to transfer to La Trobe through VTAC as a Non-Year 12 applicant. You may also be eligible for credit for your previous studies (see page 5). Apply direct to the University for mid-year entry.

For more information, visit: latrobe.edu.au/school/apply/pathways/transfer

Mature-age applicants You’re unsure about which course to do

We understand the need to balance life’s commitments with study, so we offer flexible study options and plenty of support to mature-age students (21 years and older), including childcare facilities on or near most of our campuses.

If you’re not over 21, you can still apply – it just means you’re registered as a Non-Year 12 applicant.

For different pathways into uni as a mature-age student see page 4 in this guide.

For more information, visit: latrobe.edu.au/mature-age

If you’re unsure what you want to specialise in you can enrol in a general degree and specialise later. Some degrees have a ‘common first year’, where you’ll study subjects with students from other degrees, giving you a sample of different specialisations (e.g. Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Business).

PATHWAYS To AnD THRoUGH LA TRoBE

WoRk REcoGnITIon PRoGRAm Our Work Recognition Program (WRP) is the first of its kind in Victoria. It’s designed to help students (21 years of age or older) enter university for the first time, whether or not you’ve completed Year 12.

It takes into account your work experience to date and you’re not required to have any formal academic qualifications. All you need is a minimum of 12 months’ full-time paid employment since completing high school. The WRP is an alternative entry method to the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (see right).

The program is available for admission into the following La Trobe courses:

§ Bachelor of Arts § Bachelor of Business § Bachelor of Social Sciences.

You can apply for the WRP if you:

§ are 21 years of age or older on 1 January of the year you intend to start tertiary study

§ have a minimum of 12 months’ full-time paid employment since completing high school.

For more information, see: latrobe.edu.au/mature-age/apply/mature-age-special-entry/work-recognition

TERTIARY EnABLInG PRoGRAm *If you’re keen to study but not sure where to start, our Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) will help you develop the academic skills and confidence you need to get going. The program is offered in Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo, Mildura, Shepparton and Broadmeadows in partnership with local TAFEs.

You’ll complete four subjects as part of the TEP:

§ Introduction to Social Science § Introduction to Adult Learning § Introduction to Maths § Introduction to Science.

You may be accepted into one of these courses once you’ve completed the TEP:

§ Bachelor of Business § Bachelor of Business (Accounting) § Diploma in Business § Bachelor of Education § Bachelor of Early Childhood Education § Bachelor of Physical and Health Education § Bachelor of Physical and Outdoor Education § Bachelor of Outdoor Recreation Education § Bachelor of Health Sciences § Bachelor of Nursing § Bachelor of Human Services and Master of Social Work

§ Bachelor of Arts § Bachelor of Social Sciences.

If you meet the entry requirements for these degrees, you won’t need to sit the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (see right for more information). Courses are only available on certain campuses.

For more information about TEP requirements and campuses, visit:latrobe.edu.au/mature-age/choose- la-trobe/help-to-get-in/tertiary-enabling-program

SPEcIAL TERTIARY ADmISSIonS TEST (STAT) *The STAT is an aptitude test. La Trobe only accepts the Multiple Choice version of the STAT, which consists of 70 questions designed to assess a range of competencies considered important for success in tertiary study.

You’ll have to sit the STAT if you don’t have an academic record (VCE/HSC or equivalent) and you’re applying through our Mature-Age Special Entry Scheme (apart from our Work Recognition Program). Our Work Recognition Program (see left) is an alternative to the STAT.

You might choose to sit the STAT even if you have an academic record. Some people do this to supplement their application. Everyone is different, so we strongly encourage you to speak with a selection officer before you decide. We also offer STAT preparatory courses at some of our campuses.

You register to sit a STAT through VTAC or UAC.

Contact our Future Students Centre for more information:T 1300 135 045latrobe.edu.au/study

For an information booklet and sample questions you can buy online, visit: acer.edu.au/tests/stat

SInGLE SUBjEcTS *Enrolling in single subjects is a great way to find out whether a particular area of study is right for you, and it can also boost your confidence for further uni studies.

While completion of single subjects doesn’t guarantee admission into an undergraduate course – you’ll still be required to apply separately for an undergraduate degree – a strong performance can help your application. You may also be eligible to receive credit (Advanced Standing) for the subject/s you successfully complete.

You may choose this pathway to enhance your qualifications if you’re working and don’t plan to enrol in a course.

For more information, visit:latrobe.edu.au/mature-age/apply/pathways

cREDIT FoR STUDIES AT SPEcIFIc InSTITUTIonS

You may be eligible for up to two years’ credit towards an undergraduate degree, depending on the studies you’ve completed.

Some La Trobe courses grant credit for specific subjects, others for an entire year or a set number of subjects or credit points.

As a general guide, each university subject is usually worth 15 credit points and one year of full-time studies usually comprises eight subjects or 120 credit points.

If you’ve studied at a post-secondary institution that isn’t listed in these pages, you may still be eligible for credit. For more information, visit:latrobe.edu.au/pathways

Applications for 2014 open at 9 am on Monday 5 August 2013 and close at 5 pm on Friday 27 September 2013. Late applications are accepted until early December each year, but conditions and fees usually apply.

SELEcTIonSelection for most courses is based on your academic achievement. In some cases, La Trobe also considers other factors or requirements for specific courses. These might include a folio or interview.

It’s important to note entry is competitive, so you’re not necessarily guaranteed a place in your chosen course on the basis of meeting academic requirements or having done post-secondary studies. This is another reason why it’s a good idea to get as much information as you can about your chosen course before you apply.

coSTS, FEES AnD ScHoLARSHIPS

LocAL STUDEnTSAll undergraduate courses at La Trobe are subsidised by the Australian Government through Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs), which means the government subsides the cost of your course and you pay a student contribution.

You can pay your student contribution upfront annually or take out a government loan through the government’s HECS-HELP scheme to help you manage the cost. You don’t need to start repaying the loan until you’re earning a salary nominated by the government and indexed annually.

Your student contribution depends on the discipline you study and the individual subjects you take. In 2013, the annual contribution rates varied from $5,868 to $9,792. To find out the cost of your chosen course, and other university costs, visit: latrobe.edu.au/students/fees

ScHoLARSHIPSTo help with university costs, La Trobe offers many scholarships to undergraduate students, in different categories and with different aims and eligibility criteria. Some scholarships are designed to support students experiencing financial hardship, and others recognise outstanding academic achievement.

Check our Scholarships Guide 2014 for information about scholarships at La Trobe, or visit: latrobe.edu.au/scholarships

InTERnATIonAL STUDEnTSInternational students pay tuition fees in advance each semester. These fees are subject to an annual adjustment: fees generally rise by no more than seven per cent per annum.

Tuition fees for individual La Trobe courses are online. Each fee is based on the standard annual credit-point load for the course. The usual annual load is 120 credit points, based on subjects worth 15 credit points each.

Read more at: latrobe.edu.au/international/fees/tuition

High-achieving international students, or those from developing priority areas, may be eligible to apply for a scholarship to help with the costs of their studies. For more information, visit: latrobe.edu.au/international/fees/scholarships
